Show A Little Love On Valetine's Day

It's Valentine's Day, a day we're supposed to show that special someone in our lives a little extra love. I didn't do a report yesterday because I wanted to spend some time with my late wife's sons, who I love as if they were my own. And I think for those of us who spend so much time in front of our computer screens we need to get away from it for a little while and take a breath. I know I felt better after seeing my sons, and they of course were happy to see me.

So in honor of Valentine's Day, I'd like for everyone who's reading and listening to this podcast to show a little love to your community. If you don't already do so, go out and do a little volunteer work somewhere, either today or in the future. Try to make a difference in someone's life, even if it doesn't seem to mean that much in the larger scheme of things. The New Deal was built on a foundation of small acts by caring people, I think a lot of us, myself included, don't understand that very well as we write and read about the doings of the rich and powerful. Let it be a reminder to us about how important politics can be to people's everyday lives.

And of course, if you can afford it, you can also show a little love in the way of a small donation to your favorite blog or political organization. Most of us out here in the blogosphere do what we do out of love: love for our country and love for our fellow citizens, even the ones we don't like very much. Even if it's just a couple of dollars, it's the kind of recognition that makes what we do seem worthwhile.
